In celebration of the first-ever National Preservation Week (May 9-13), the Tompkins County Public Library and the Cornell University Library will host “Preserving Family Documents and Photographs” Thursday, May 13 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.
Facilitated by Michele Hamill, paper and photograph conservator for Cornell University Library, this program will provide essential information about different types of documents and photographs and how they deteriorate, how to reduce deterioration, common condition problems and archival storage solutions. Handouts with links to more information on preserving family documents and photographs will be provided.
“Documents and photographs held and loved by individuals and families connect us to the past and enrich our future,” Hamill said. “This program will help people understand what steps to take so that their family treasures can be passed on to future generations.”
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
